Height Advantage Becomes A Curse In The Gym

Hey,

Tall guys need almost double the muscle tissue just to look normal-sized compared to shorter people.

A 5'8" person adding 15 pounds of muscle looks jacked…

While a 6'3" person adding the same amount looks like nothing changed at all.

The mirror remains disappointing despite months of rigorous training because long limbs require much more tissue to fill out visibly.

But the real problem runs deeper than just needing more muscle.

Research shows taller individuals have higher myostatin levels than shorter individuals, which means the blocking protein works even harder against muscle growth.

Longer bones signal the body to keep myostatin elevated, creating a biological disadvantage that training alone can't overcome.

Epicatechin inside shuts down the gene that makes myostatin, so tall people finally get the same muscle-building response as shorter people.

Beta-ecdysterone then amplifies how efficiently the body builds tissue on long bones.

When they work together, height is no longer a disadvantage.

Muscle finally appears visible on tall frames instead of disappearing across long limbs.

That 20-pound gain actually shows up in the mirror instead of vanishing into a big skeleton.

To even odds, 

Coach Alex
